Intake System:

Wow John all looks top quality, did you design some of that intake system yourself?

 

[Mr.G]

All looks very impressive, and the intake design looks awesome John.
How did you come up with that design? Does it lead to more torque by having them angled like that?

Oh my....

It's getting there mate!

Shiny!

I designed it in as much as I designed the size and layout of it and the lengths (hemholtz) its tuned for ~5000rpm. There'll obviously be trumpets and air boxes on the end of the runners.
No more torque from the angle, the runner shape is not particularly accurate, it's just to check there was clearance to get them across between the bodies on the other side!

 

[Mr.G]

Nice to see this kind of engineering by the home mechanic, very impressive. Just shows you what can be done with some skill, patience and research. Excellent work John !

 

[John Dixon]

Cheers! Will post up some more as and when I get stuff done.
